Glendi - Estudiantina of Melbourne and Demotika

~~~ Odeon Richmond Glendi ~~~

Featuring Demotika and Estudiantina of Melbourne together for one show!

Demotika brings vibrant melodies and ancient lyrics to life through unique musical performances that find their roots in ancestral stories and traditions. We invite you all to experience the enchanting nature of the fiddle, the hypnotic strumming of the lute, the heartbeat of the drum, the cry of the clarinet and the serenity of the acoustic guitar.

Estudiantina of Melbourne is more than just a musical ensemble; it's a passionate torchbearer of traditional Greek music, particularly Smyrneika, deeply entrenched in the cultural fabric of Greece. With a profound appreciation for the diverse influences that shape Smyrneika, ranging from Greek and Turkish to Jewish and Armenian, the ensemble creates a mesmerising fusion that breathes new life into this age-old genre. Their music, adorned with instruments like the oud, bouzouki, violin, kanun, and guitar, resonates with an authenticity that captivates audiences.
